I can attest to that, having graduated from FPLC. They had extensive externship opportunities (actually working for an entire semester in lieu of classes), clinics, competitions. They are best known as being an IP school so they are particularly well suited for this sort of work in fighting the RIAA.
Call me lame and perhaps not a true enthusiast to the cause, but the DRM I've encountered hasn't really bothered me. I only have one gaming rig and I have a reliable internet connection (although Steam pissed me off once when my service was down). I understand and am against DRM in principle, but I'm just saying that in my day to day gaming, DRM hasn't really affected me. Your average gamer probably hasn't encountered a huge amount of problems which is why it has continued. Also, maybe I haven't played some of the games people complain about most.
Now I do agree with your other point emphatically. STOP MAKING SHITTY GAMES for $50-60. I'll happily pay for a good game but quit fucking us with the quality.
... what ever happened to the information they snooped? If I remember correctly it was just call records and no text message content or anything of the sorts.
Valve is celebrating by offering the original Half-Life for less than a dollar on Steam.
Not trying to be smarmy or anything, but is there anyone out there who hasn't played this already? Didn't it sell like 400 million copies? Looks like they stand to pull in about $6 off the deal (yes I know that's not the point).
What I'm saying is just a testament to how incredibly awesome and groundbreaking this game was.
Honestly, we probably would because what else would we do? Occasionally we bitch about Google, Apple, and even, once in awhile LINUX (gasp!). If we didn't bitch about stuff, I don't know that I'd visit/. all that often...
Now we're going to be hearing from the environmentalists about all this littering we're doing on another planet. I hear there is an organization forming called "Redpeace".
... that'd be a hell of a long trip in a balloon and it seems that ya really wouldn't even need the balloon part in space, being no air and all. Maybe put some rockets or somethin' on the basket. I guess you could git the balloon out again once entering Titan's atmosphere but ya know, I just don't geddit!
Maybe it's the fact that I apparently stopped maturing at age 12, but I'd think you could help restore the sex life of people in need of this device with a great robotic dildo attachment.
It seems to me that any number of debilitating and lethal diseases can be seen this way and that population control should be proactive. If we can cure cancer, it would seem that population control through education would be a far better way to ensure population control without the horrible pain and suffering that the afflicted and their loved ones endure.
I realize that birth control education/legislation/etc. brings up an entirely new conversation (one I'm not trying to start here) but I'd pretty much support anything that would have kept friends and family from dying a slow, painful death.
Yeah they bleep out "nine" when referring to a gun but you got titties and ass jiggling all over the place. I guess MTV only wishes to influence certain types of moral issues.
Microsoft doesn't host any of my porn sites and I don't use hotmail. I'm just saying. Now if by entering the game they somehow prevent me from using openID at any of these sites... we'll have a problem.
Honestly, as far as Republicans go, McCain isn't too bad and if this election goes red, I won't be super upset at the choice although I voted Obama.
What scares me is Palin. We're just one bad heartbeat or another melanoma away from President Palin. Say what you will about her executive experience or her "maverick" attitude, she's just embarrassing.
I don't think either candidate has the answer to our economy or taxes, but at the very least Obama will signal a change in the way our country is viewed. He may end up screwing it up but at least for awhile our image will improve on a global scale.
I don't mind paying a little extra in taxes IF the tax plan will actually help the economy. I realize that's a giant IF. I'm just ready for something new.

An amazing story would be "NO SECURITY FLAWS IN AUSSIE NET FILTER WHATSOEVER". I'm just sayin'. There are flaws in everything.
There goes my patent on patenting network snoop detection so nobody can detect my snooping.

I wonder what the machine would pick up to someone startled and thinking "WTF? Did I just see a dick?"

Ok that was straight up funny. You should have posted that non-anonymously. Mad points.

Yeah I read Wolfman as well and was thinking that the updates and release cycles would be really long if he could only work on it during full moons.
Based on yesterday's story, am I correct in assuming they had 10 years of NOT having to drink recycled pee?
Maybe Amazon should have been involved last year guys.
Wow yeah baseball would be good. Is it sad that the first thing I thought of was ladies locker rooms?
a 3 volume history of NSA activities 2000-2008? Those would have to be much larger volumes I'm guessing.

Dr. Hidaka: The war even comes to this Eskimo village. Soon there won't be any peace anywhere.
[Cut to a ship cutting through the ice.]
Joel: There's nothing more tragic than a war in an Eskimo village.

Maybe the best we can hope for (besides dying in our sleep) is that this kind of slap-in-the-face application can spur some of the much needed reform.

Just wait until nanopore sequencing really takes off. Now that shit is awesome.
